Garbage is working on a new album. The followup to 2016's Strange Little Birds, the next record will be their 7th.

In February, Garbage finished preliminary work on their next album.

In addition to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the sophomore album, Version 2.0, the band also…

Last month, Garbage introduced their new song, "No Horses," during their Rage And Rapture tour with Blondie.

Next week, the band will release their sixth studio album, Strange Little Birds. Their new songs "Empty"…

Following the first single, "Empty," Garbage has suddenly shared another new song from their upcoming album, Strange Little Birds.

Back in 2014, Garbage began working on their sixth studio album, the follow-up to their 2012 comeback, Not Your Kind Of People. At the time things were moving fast, and the band revealed more than 20 new song titles, but in 2015 Garbage took their time a bit more as they finished up and began…

Garbage has been busy this year, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their eponymous debut album and getting ready to release a brand new album in 2016.
